Daylight Saving Time Sunday, November 1, 2015


T


he end of Daylight Saving Time this year comes Sunday, November 1. At exactly


2 a.m., local time, clocks should be turned back one hour to 1 a.m. The change will result in an additional hour of light in the morning, but an earlier sunset. The change is often called “fall back.”


Of course, most mobile devices, tablets, cable boxes and smartphones will update the time change automatically. However, traditional


watches, clocks and other non-Internet enabled devices (stoves, microwaves) will require an old-fashioned manual change.


After the Nov. 1 time change, you will not need to worry about changing the clocks again until the beginning of Daylight Saving Time 2016, which falls on March 13. Those feeling stressed about the time change can take comfort in the extra hour of sleep they will be getting after turning back the clocks.


In a holiday rush? Don’t skimp on safety It’s almost time to unpack the holiday lights and dress the house up for Christmas.

Between Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, party planning, school concerts and work, however, you might be tempted to deck your halls in a hurry.


Slow down. The winter holidays can be the best time of the year—as long as you and your family stay safe. No matter how busy you are, take care to protect your home from the risk of fi re as you celebrate the holidays. A third of all residential fi res occur during the winter, according to the National Fire Protection Agency. Don’t let your home become a statistic because you didn’t take time for safety.


Pay attention to:


• Overloaded outlets and electrical cords. Invest in a high-quality power strip, where you can plug extra lights, appliances and decorations. 1092802100





Hidden electrical cords. Never run cords under rugs or in high-traffi c areas. People can trip over them, and the rug can cause wear on a cord. That can make it vulnerable to overheating and starting a fi re.

Energy Effi ciency Tip of the Month Remember to close your fi replace damper (unless a fi re is burning). Keeping the damper open is like leaving a window wide open during the winter, allowing warm air to escape through the chimney.
